Yes, which is nothing compared to the destruction wrought by oil companies, steel manufacturing, meat production, concrete, energy, and transport.

Which have actually destroyed our environment for over a century. With only a slight bend towards slowing.

And I assure you. If you wanna argue "those are useful", not all of those things are useful, as useful as they could be, as efficient as they could be, or could be replaced today if the will was there with better options.

Data centers are a boogeyman and only cared about by Americans and some Europeans. The other 6 billion people in the world really dont think they are bad, nor have such strong feelings towards AI.

And I bet they feel a lot more animosity towards the military industrial complex and the oil empire financing it destroying our planet.
